(DOCTOR WHO THEME) (RIPPED BY PIRX)
(WIND HOWLS)
There we are.
Well, what do you think?
I donīt know. I canīt believe it.
Itīs so big.
- Where are we? - Oh, itīs the Tardis. Itīs my home.
It has been for a considerable number of years.
What are all these knobs?
What, these?
Instruments. These are for controlling our flight.
Flight?
Well, yes. We travel through time and space.
No, no, no. Donīt laugh. Itīs true.
Your father and Maxtible were working on the same problem,
but I have perfected a rather special model,
which enables me to travel through the universe of time.
How can you?
I mean, if what you say is true, you must be... Well...
How old?
Well, in Earth terms, I suppose I must be about four hundred...
About 450 years old.
Yes, well... Quite.
I think Victoria might find that dress a little impracticable
if sheīs going to join us.
Jamie, show her where she can find some new ones.
Right.
- This way. - Mustnīt stand about.
Try to give us a smooth take-off. We donīt want to frighten her.
A smooth take-off?
A smooth take-off?! What a nerve!
(WHOOSHING)
Hey, Toberman!
Get that big head down!
Whatīs the matter? Have you gone mad?
Doesnīt he realize the danger heīs in?
(SNIGGER)
Donīt laugh. None of us knows whatīll happen when we press it.
Especially in this rarefied atmosphere.
Viner, no need to get excited. Canīt you keep your servant under control?
If I wish, I can.
(AMERICAN ACCENT) Hurry it up, will you, Rogers!
I donīt know what you think youīre going to find.
According to the map, that should be the entrance to the city of Telos.
I hope youīre right. I want to get out of here.
Hopper, youīre being well paid for your part in this expedition.
Big deal!
Sorry. We had to make it a pretty big one.
All right. Letīs get on with it. Weīve wasted enough time.
Stand by. Everybody down.
Oh, no.
Well, there you go.
You blast one lump of rock and all youīve got is another.
(LOW RUMBLING)
No, wait a minute! Look!
Man, you just blew yourself a pair of doors!
(CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
Well, come on! What are we waiting for?
L50 for the first man to open the doors.
Miss Kaftan, I must remind you that I am the leader of the...
- What happened? - I donīt know.
Well, heīs not going to collect L50 from you or anybody else.
- Quiet. Quiet a minute. - Whatīs that?
Sounded like an engine.
(WHOOSHING)
- Something came down there! - OK, Viner. Iīll take care of this.
- Jim! - OK. Iīve got it!
(LOW VOICES)
Hold it right there, friend.
If you put it like that, I will.
Hear that, Professor? English.
(PARRY) Yes. All right, Hopper.
Thank you.
Who are you and where are you from?
And youīd better have a good story.
Maybe youīll not get one.
Listen, fella. Weīre not playing games.
- Youīd better listen to him. - Whatīs been happening here?
He was killed as you appeared.
Ah. And you think we did it?
We had nothing to do with the death of this man.
He appears to have been electrocuted.
Trying to open these doors, perhaps?
- He seems to know all the answers. - A wise guy!
He must be a member of a rival expedition.
(DOCTOR) Expedition?
Weīve tried to keep it secret. Unsuccessfully, it appears.
Archaeologist written all over him.
- Really? Does it show? - You see?
Itīs impossible to keep a secret in the scientific world.
- Doctor, what do you mean? - Tell them, Doctor.
Not until they tell us about their expedition.
This is an archaeological expedition.
We are searching the universe for the last remains of the Cybermen.
Cybermen? You mean they came from here?
Of course. Telos was their home.
This is the entrance to their city.
We know they died out centuries ago, but we donīt know why they died out.
Callum, Rogers! Get him back to the rocket. Iīll be with you soon.
Thatīs that. Are you coming back with me, Professor?
- What for? - Youīre not going on with this?
I donīt know if they had anything to do with it,
but one of my men is dead. Youīre not paying that kind of money.
- I suppose thatīs true. - You think it over.
Come on, letīs go. Weīll wait for you at the ship.
The problem is to open these doors, right?
- Ha! Brilliant. - That is the problem.
Please return to wherever you came from.
- Not very friendly, are they? - Do as he says.
That became impossible when that name was mentioned - Cybermen.
Cybermen? What are they?
- Theyīre on the same quest! - Thereīs no other reason to come.
- We must stay! - Doctor!
Must we? I donīt like the look of those things.
- We shall help you. - Perhaps we donīt want help.
Thatīs just it. You obviously do. I can open those doors for you.
Itīs our problem!
Take your ridiculous expedition off this planet!
We have as much right here as you have.
Of course you have. Mr. Klieg, you do not speak for this expedition.
I am its leader. You and Miss Kaftan are only here on sufferance.
- And whoīs paying for that rocket? - (KAFTAN) Me!
I made it clear that your financial support
did not entitle you to a say in this expedition!
Of course. It was quite clear.
Was it not, Eric?
Of course. No one questions your leadership.
Good. Thatīs all settled.
- And now we shall open these doors. - What...?
- Careful, man! - Doctor!
Perfectly safe now.
- Youīll be killed! - Donīt touch him!
- Itīs beyond my strength. - Let me, Doctor.
Iīve not had much exercise lately.
Quite. I think here is a man who could open these doors for us.
He is my servant. I will not have him risk his life.
Surely it was for a contingency like this that we brought him with us.
Thereīs no danger now. Unless heīs afraid.
No, no. Heīs not afraid.
- Come on. - No. Wait!
I would be very careful in there if I were you.
Why werenīt you both killed?
The poor fellow who died drained all the electricity out of his body.
Itīs perfectly safe to go in now.
Weīre wasting time.
Of course. After you, Professor.
But Iīd still...
Iīd still be very careful if I were you. Very careful indeed.
Come on. Letīs join them.
Come on, Victoria.
You look very nice in that dress.
Thank you. Donīt you think itīs a bit...?
Short? I shouldnīt worry. Look at Jamieīs.
Iīll have you know that... Oh, aye.
Come along. Letīs see what the others are doing.
(VICTORIA) Mercy! Just look at this place.
These controls are of earlier dynasties.
Not so early. Look, John...
Iīm quite capable of making my own deductions!
All right.
Be careful. There might be danger.
Donīt worry, with Toberman to guard me.
Itīs more important to watch these strangers.
- I tried to...! - Do not raise your voice.
You look after the Doctor and I will watch the girl.
- And the Scots boy? - Leave him to Toberman.
Eh, Toberman?
- You will be discreet. Understand? - I understand.
- Did you ever see the like of it? - Not exactly, Jamie, but nearly.
(PARRY) Now that weīre all here...
Now that weīre all here, weīd better take stock of the situation.
This appears to be a dead end.
The only way out is through that hatch.
- Are there no doors? - No. Apart from the entrance.
- And the other two. - Two other doors?
Yes. One in that section and one in that section over there.
Activated, I imagine, by this system here.
Here we are, I think.
(BLEEPING)
Yes, splendid! A simple logical gate.
Doctor, you seem to be very familiar with this place.
Not really. Itīs all based on symbolic logic.
The same as you use in computers.
The opening mechanism - an O.R. gate, as you call it.
I can see that, but how did you know in the first place?
I use my own special technique.
Really? And may we know what that is?
Keeping my eyes open and my mouth shut.
We are too many to explore together. Weīd better divide up.
If you, Mr. Viner, would take that door with...
- Jamie. - Jamie and Mr. Haydon.
Mr. Klieg, the Doctor and myself will be a party.
- What about us? - The women should remain here.
Rubbish! We can make a party.
Certainly. With Toberman to guard us, we need fear no one.
Mr. Klieg, will you take them with you?
- I prefer to stay here. - As you wish.
Mr. Viner, will you go along with the women?
- If you like. - Get back to the spacecraft by 16.30.
You know the temperature drop at night,
so weīll meet here at 16.25.
If anyone is missing, that gives us an hour to look for them.
Come on. We might as well try that opening over there.
Weīd better keep close together.
Iīm all right, thank you.
- Come on, Jamie. - Right.
Now to concentrate on this, whatever it is.
This hatch must lead somewhere
and there must be some opening mechanism.
What was that about symbolic logic? Any ideas?
No, not really.
I think itīs time we gave Mr. Klieg a chance
to show off his archaeological skills.
I love to see the experts at work, donīt you?
Come on. Right in.
Whereīs Toberman?
I sent him to join the others.
We do not need protection now that you are with us.
Yes. Well, shall we commence?
Everything must be carefully measured and recorded.
What is this room?
I donīt know. Possibly this is where the Cybermen are made.
I wonder what this is.
Do you mind? Youīre in my way. Just go over there.
Oh, fiddle!
Could this not be the purpose of the room?
Yes?
A Cyberman would stand in that form and be...
Well, revitalized.
Yes, thatīs reasonable.
These projectors probably fired in some neuro-electric potential.
Thatīs it. I think youīre right.
Revitalizing is just what I need.
Mercy! The Cybermen must have been giants!
Please be careful!
In archaeological work, nothing must be touched
until itīs been recorded.
All the corridors in here are light, yet there are no windows.
- Alpha-mason phosphor. - Eh?
A lighting system that never goes out.
Cosmic rays bombard a layer of barium...
Aye, that.
Point is, what is this room used for?
Possibly for raising caterpillars, like this one.
Watch out until we know what it is!
Itīs as dead as a stone.
Well?
The basis of this code is binary to digital conversion,
with an intervening step involving a Whitehead logic.
When this Bourrier series is complete, itīs done.
Yes, but why do it at all?
For an archaeologist, youīre curiously lacking in curiosity.
Some things are better left undone and this is one of them.
What do you mean by that?
- Itīs all too easy, isnīt it? - Easy?
I wouldnīt call this an easy survey.
Everything is designed to keep their secrets insoluble.
Insoluble? Oh, I wouldnīt say that.
Take this mathematical sequence. Iīm really no nearer to its solution.
Iīve tried every combination. Itīs hardly easy.
Yes. Well, what youīve done here is mostly right.
- Thank you! - You see, any progressive series
can be converted into binary notation.
If you take the sum of the integrets
and express the result as a power series,
then the indices show the basic binary blocks.
Only I wouldnīt do it if I were you. I really wouldnīt do it.
Of course! Youīre right!
(LOW HUMMING)
Look! Sum between limits of one and 91
integral into power series... Yes, yes!
Then you differentiate...
You fool! Why couldnīt you leave it alone?
- Whatīs happening? - I donīt know.
Perhaps the Cybermen arenīt dormant. We must find the others.
Aaagh!
- Did you touch anything? - No.
Keep away from that board. Here, help me.
- One moment. - Now!
Weīll need a crowbar to get this off.
It may already be too late.
- Thatīs strange. - What?
- I could swear that thing moved. - Youīre seeing things, old chap.
Come and look. The control panel is active suddenly.
Donīt know which button to press first.
- I wouldnīt if I were you. - I think Iīll try this one.
Nothing.
Wait a minute. Whatīs happening? Itīs getting dark.
Hey, look at the far wall!
Itīs no use. I darenīt touch anything.
If I operate the wrong sequence, sheīll die.
I must find the logical order. If itīs not too late.
(BANGING)
- Sheīs still alive! - Thank heavens!
Iīll get the others. You stay here.
- But hurry. - I wonīt be long.
(KNOCKING)
(HUMMING)
I wouldnīt touch the projector controls. Someone might get hurt.
- There must be a way to release it. - Yes. Let me see.
Jamie.
Jamie, donīt watch it.
I must.
I must. I canīt seem to take my eyes off it.
I donīt want to take my eyes off it.
- I donīt want to take my eyes... - Stop, Jamie!
Yes, yes. I see it now.
- Are you all right? - Where have I been?
Under some form of hypnosis.
What would Cybermen want with a hypnotizing machine?
It must be for something else. Know what it could be?
- What? - Some kind of target.
They used to have something like it on Earth years ago.
How does it work?
- Thereīs a subliminal center. - Oh, aye.
- A what? - Letīs run it, but donīt watch.
You work the controls and Iīll watch.
Right.
OK. Press the buttons.
I think this is it. Stand by to let her out.
And if you, my dear, would stand well clear.
Right!
Victoria, are you all right?
Itīs all right. Catch your breath.
Itīs all right.
I didnīt like that very much, Doctor.
I donīt expect you did. Youīll have to be more careful in future.
Come along. We must see whether Jamie is all right.
There must be some way to get that hatch open.
That must be the control to do it.
The tombs of the Cybermen must be below ground with their records.
If we canīt get down there, all our work here
and the sacrifice of that fellowīs life will go in vain.
- A great deal more than that. - Pardon?
Thereīs only one explanation. The Doctor.
- Yes? - He didnīt give us the complete code.
There must be a further sequence to operate that opening mechanism.
- Letīs try to find out. - What could it be?
- Is that all? - Aye.
All except this. What does that do?
Iīm not sure, but weīll find out.
Iīm going to trace the source of these shapes.
There must be a projector somewhere.
- When I say, press the button. - The big one?
Maybe it works with the others.
- Ready when you are. - OK. Go ahead.
- Jamie, donīt touch that control! - I already have.
- Whatīs the matter? - Which one was it?
What?
(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
- Jamie, donīt touch that control! - I already have.
- Whatīs the matter? - Which one was it?
What?
Aaagh!
What exactly happened here, Jamie?
What did you do? What sequence did you use?
How do you mean? You mean these?
I pressed that button, then pulled this lever...
Doctor, if you could spare a moment... Haydon! Whatīs happened?
Heīs dead.
Donīt you see? Heīs dead.
Itīs this damned building.
Itīs alive. Itīs watching us. Itīll get us all! Weīve got to leave!
All right. This is terrible. How did it happen?
Weīve got to get out of this building. Theyīll kill all of us.
- They? - Cybermen! Didnīt you see it?
A live Cyberman? Theyīve been dead for 500 years.
It was a Cyberman and it came out of that screen thing.
- Heīs right. - Keep back! Youīll bring it out!
- What killed him? - But you saw the Cyberman.
- I saw something. - Well?
Haydon was looking at that screen. In the direction we all were.
Must you state the obvious?
Itīs not so obvious. He was shot in the back.
- In the back? - Are you sure?
See for yourself.
Now, if the Cyberman didnīt shoot him, what did?
The answer, I think, lies over here.
- Jamie? - Yes, Doctor?
Can you remember exactly what sequence you used?
- Iīm not sure. - You must try.
- I want you to repeat it all. - Very well.
Youīll bring that thing out again!
Maybe. Jamie, when youīre ready.
Any time, Doctor.
There is a distinct element of risk in this,
so if anyone wishes to leave, do so now... Not you, Jamie!
Canīt you stop this? Heīll kill us all.
Not if you go back in that corner there.
Please.
Right, Jamie.
- Careful, Doctor! - Itīs all right.
I think. I think itīs all right now.
Yes. You see. Itīs just a mock-up, a model.
Donīt touch that! That gun may be wired up too.
- Itīs a trap. - No, I donīt think so.
Itīs a testing room for weapons.
This is a purely robotic Cyberman.
Thereīs no human material in it at all.
Itīs a target for weapons.
Letīs get back to the control room with this poor fellow.
Whatīs that?
(JAMIE) Some wee creature I found on the floor.
Itīs a fossil.
Victoria, be careful! Let me see that.
Yes, itīs certainly inactive, but itīs not a fossil.
Wait a minute.
Yes. Here we are.
Yes.
Itīs a Cybermat.
Whatīs a Cybermat?
Itīs one of those. Iīd leave it alone if I were you.
Well?
- It is done. - Good.
I just donīt understand this code.
The sequence doesnīt make sense.
You, a logician, canīt understand it?
- You must. - But in the time we have...
We have plenty of time. You will see.
- Lay him down there. - What has happened to him?
Thereīs been an accident. Heīs been shot.
Right. Weīre all here. Would you all sit down for a moment?
Toberman?
Mr. Klieg?
Leave me alone. Canīt you see Iīm working?
Have you forgotten the purpose of this expedition?
This directly concerns my expedition. Kindly take your place.
Right. Iīll come straight to the point.
Iīve reluctantly decided to abandon the expedition and return to Earth.
- Itīs impossible! - I feel just as strongly about it.
This expedition has been my dream for many years.
Some, like Mr. Viner, said more preparation was needed -
more men and equipment.
I did not heed their warnings, and the result is that two have died.
Iīm sorry, but we must leave at the first available conjunction.
Weīll take back all we can for further study.
But that is my decision and that is what we must do.
- I insist that...! - My decision is final!
We leave when the north hemisphere is properly tangential,
which will be at 18.42.
Ah, Captain Hopper. Can you blast off at 18.42?
No.
I beg your pardon. Did I hear you right?
You are paid to take orders.
Not impossible ones.
Itīs the fuel pumps. Someone has balled-up the lot.
- What? - Or someTHING.
Whatever it is, itīs nearly wrecked our chances of leaving this planet.
I donīt care what any of you say.
I will not spend the night on this planet.
Weīve no choice.
At least we can get out of this sinister building.
Iīve recorded the details. I suggest we all go back to the rocket.
- Thatīs a very bad suggestion. - I insist.
You do a lot of insisting. Well, Iīll tell you.
The first guy that sets foot in my rocket
is going to stop the repair work, just like that.
How long will it take to get the rocket operational?
Working non-stop, without interruption,
maybe 72 hours.
Thatīs impossible. Weīll be out of our minds! We must go back on board.
I canīt afford to waste any more time,
but Iīll give it to you once more.
We practically have to pull the ship apart to fix the damage,
and there just isnīt room for all of you on board.
Especially with you insisting all over the place.
- No room to work. Got it? - Yes, of course. I see now.
Itīs all right for you. Youīre not in this deadly building.
Itīs not exactly peaches back on the ship!
Captain, you have another reason for not wanting them back on the ship.
- Until I find out who broke in... - Or what?
..Who broke into the rocket, Iīm going to keep a round-the-clock guard.
I see.
Iīm going to get off this place with my skin still fitting tight. OK?
All right.
In case it gets cold, Iīve brought anoraks and some food.
Iīll let you know when Iīm ready to take off.
As we have to stay, we can finish our job and explore down there.
That is if the Professor has no objection.
We have no alternative, it seems.
Canīt we stay here? It seems a pleasant enough room to me.
You speak for yourself.
You can leave any time you please, Doctor.
Yes. I was forgetting. I can, canīt I?
(VICTORIA) But youīre not going to?
(DOCTOR) No. Not just yet. No.
But you and Jamie can go back to the Tardis.
- Iīll stay with you. - Jamie?
- Iīll stay. - Good.
I think itīs about time we gave Mr. Klieg some help.
- Thank you. I think I can manage. - Stay!
Let the Doctor pass or Iīll...
Yes, well, let the Doctor pass.
Itīs all right, Jamie.
Your colleague has very strong hands.
Very strong.
Enough to do a good deal of damage if let loose in the right place.
Thereīs no doubt about it. The major workings lie below.
There are metal caverns down there, all interconnected.
If only we can get down to them.
Thatīs it! Iīve got it!
Finally, a Boolean function of symbolic logic.
- Logical, yes, but... - Everything yields to logic.
- Our basic assumption. - Really.
Six, cap, B4...
if and only if C
is cap function of 2A.
I think perhaps your logic is wearing a little thin.
I must have made a mistake. Iīll do it again carefully.
Six, cap, B4...
if and only if C...
is cap faction of... Ah, thatīs it!
2F, not 2A.
(WHIRRING)
Iīve done it! Iīve done it!
- Congratulations! - But, Doctor, you...
Excellent. Now to work.
Itīll be extremely cold. We shall need to put on warm clothing.
Mr. Viner, would you get the anoraks?
- Are we all going down? - Thereīs safety in numbers.
- The women as well? - They will stay up here.
In case of trouble, contact the rocket.
- Iīm coming with you. - But my dear young lady...
- You heard me, Professor. - Victoria.
You will be much safer up here.
- But, Doctor... - And much more use to us.
- I donīt see... - By keeping an eye on things.
Please.
- All right. - Thank you.
(PARRY) If weīre all ready, I shall lead the descent.
Be ready to go back the instant I give the word.
- You know what to do? - The hatch?
Mr. Toberman?
He stays with me.
Then I stay here too.
Of course. I am being selfish.
His strength will be useful to you. He must go down.
Go down, Toberman.
Remember what I said. Be very careful.
(KAFTAN) It seems we are left alone to wait.
Captain Hopper brought food from the rocket. You would like some?
Rather! Iīm ravenous.
Roast beef? Veal? Chicken?
Oh, chicken, please.
What is this?
What you have asked for. Chicken.
Thank you, but Iīm not very hungry now.
Weīve no time to linger!
Itīs extremely cold down here, even with these anoraks.
(JAMIE) You obviously knew what to expect.
Well, which way do we go?
I donīt know. Letīs try this one.
Yes.
Hey, what on Earth?!
(PARRY) Behold, gentlemen, the tombs of the Cybermen.
(JAMIE) Tombs? I donīt see any tombs.
There, Jamie.
Frozen forever.
All their evil locked away with them.
And so it must remain.
Like a gigantic honeycomb.
Like bees waiting for the signal to arise from their winter sleep.
A signal they are never going to get.
Weīd better get busy. Everything must be recorded. Itīs too cold...
Unless we find some way to warm things up.
You have hardly touched your coffee.
It must be cold by now.
You would like some more?
No, thank you. Iīm much warmer now.
Thatīs good.
I...
feel so sleepy.
(WHIRRING)
(CLANG)
- What was that? - It sounded like the hatch.
Itīs closed!
Whatīs the use? Weīre trapped down here now.
Weīll never survive in this cold.
Better get back.
Well?
Itīs closed. What are they playing at up there?
Maybe it wasnīt them. Whereīs Jamie?
He went up the ladder to try it.
Professor. Professor, listen to me, for heavenīs sake!
The hatch is down. Weīre trapped down here.
But some of my party are up there. Are you sure?
Of course. You know how heavy it is. Itīs down now.
We must do something!
I give us a couple of hours in here at most.
Mr. Klieg doesnīt seem to be very worried.
No, Iīm not, Doctor.
It wonīt open and I canīt make them hear.
There is an easy way out of our situation.
- Youīve found something? - You forget logic.
If it closes, it can be opened - from here.
Conveniently labeled in symbolic logic, I notice.
Right. Are we ready? I shall now operate the sequence.
If it is the opening device.
Itīs an opening device of some kind, Doctor.
I donīt know how you can be so blasted calm!
Iīll see if it works.
Go ahead!
Nothing happening out here!
It doesnīt work.
Water!
- Itīs getting warmer. - The ice is melting.
Hey, look behind you!
Look!
Look at the honeycomb.
Thereīs something inside.
Theyīre... Theyīre Cybermen.
Jamie, come back!
It is them.
Gentlemen, they are perfect.
This is unique in archaeology.
No!
No! Theyīre moving!
We must shut it down.
(LOUD WHIRRING)
(WHIRRING WINDS DOWN)
What are you doing? Keep away from that!
No.
- What are you doing? - Keep away!
- Keep away from those controls. - No!
Viner!
Viner. Youīve killed him!
- Heīs mad. - Jamie!
Haydon dead, now Viner.
What kind of man are you?
Back! Keep back!
Letīs see what happens.
As the Professor says, this is a unique archaeological event.
It would be such a pity to miss it.
(LOUD WHIRRING)
(BEEPING)
- Whatīs happened? - What?
The hatch is down. Are they back?
They are still down there.
Then why is the hatch down? They wonīt be able to get up.
I shall open it when we are ready.
When whoīs ready?
- You closed it? - I did.
- Then youīd better open it. - No. It shall remain closed.
- The Doctor warned me about you. - Clever of him.
- Out of my way! - Why?
Iīm going to open the hatch.
Stand back!
Thatīs better.
Letīs move away from those controls.
We shall be more comfortable over here, I think.
But why? Why have you done it?
Youīve trapped your friends as well as mine.
I shall open it when Klieg has completed our plans.
Meanwhile, it is better that they remain undisturbed.
If you touch those controls,
I shall have to kill you.
Doctor, I have a feeling that manīs planned it all.
He knew that wouldnīt open the hatch.
- So did I, Jamie. - You knew?
I wanted to know what he was up to.
- And now you know, Doctor. - We know nothing.
This is the action of a lunatic.
Lunatic? Not at all, Professor. A necessary detail, thatīs all.
But why?
Logic, my dear Professor, logic and power.
On Earth, the Brotherhood of Logicians
is the greatest man intelligence ever assembled.
But thatīs not enough. We need power -
power to put our ability into action.
The Cybermen have this power. I have come to find it and use it.
So that was your motive in financing my expedition!
Precisely. Your lack of administration made it ideal.
You think the Cybermen will help you?
Of course. I shall be their resurrecter.
Look!
(BEEPING)
- Keep still! - Behind you!
That thing! Itīs come alive!
You are so simple. You expect to take me in with a trick like that!
Itīs true! Look!
- Will nothing keep you still? - Will you please look?!
Any more trouble and Iīll take drastic steps.
We wonīt allow a little girl to interfere!
Aaagh!
(BEEPING WINDS DOWN...)
(..AND STOPS)
I donīt know!
Captain Hopper!
What is it?
I think itīs their leader, their Controller, Jamie.
I...
am Klieg.
Eric Klieg.
I have brought you back to life.
We of the logicians have planned this. You are alive because of us.
Now you will help us.
We need your power.
You need our mass intelligence. Are you listening?
Do you understand me? Now that I have released you...
Aaagh!
Let me go!
I set you free! It was our plan!
(CONTROLLER) You belong to us.
You shall be like us.
(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
(CONTROLLER) You belong to us.
You shall be like us.
How did you know we would release you?
You could have been frozen forever.
The humanoid mind.
You are inquisitive.
Ah, I see. A trap.
A very special sort of trap, too.
What do you mean, special?
They wanted superior intellects. Thatīs why they made it complicated.
We knew that somebody like you
would come to our planet some day.
Yes. Weīve done exactly as you calculated, havenīt we?
Now you belong to us.
Now, quick! Find the opening device. I donīt know which it is.
Iīm not pulling any levers till I know what this is all about.
We shouldnīt have left the rocket. Not much wrong here.
Not much wrong?! Are you blind, the pair of you?
- What about this? - I canīt see any change, Vic.
Thatīs just it. Theyīre down there now.
So why close the hatch? It doesnīt make sense, Vic.
I didnīt. And please stop calling me Vic.
- She closed the hatch. - Did she, now?
Are you going to help me?
Theyīre probably freezing to death.
If you wonīt help, Iīll pull every lever and see what happens!
I wouldnīt do that, Vic! Come on, Jim. Weīd better do it.
Were you here when they opened it?
- Yes. - Then you must have some idea.
I donīt know. I wasnīt looking.
I think itīs one of those levers down there.
She thinks!
Can we not make a run for it, Doctor?
No. We wouldnīt reach the ladder. Itīs too risky.
What can we do?
Play for time. Wait for our chance. Leave it to me.
Excuse me? May I ask a question?
Why did you submit yourself to freezing?
You donīt have to answer that.
To survive.
Our history computer has full details of you.
Oh? How?
We know of your intelligence.
Oh. Thank you very much.
Ah, yes. The lunar surface.
Our machinery had stopped
and our supply of replacements been depleted.
So thatīs why you attacked the moonbase.
You had destroyed our first planet
and we were becoming extinct.
What does capturing us do? Youīll still become extinct.
We will survive.
Now you will help us.
What makes you think weīll help you? That murderer doesnīt speak for us.
You will become the first of a new race of Cybermen.
You will return to Earth and control it.
(PARRY) Never. Never!
Everything we decide is carried out.
There are no mistakes.
A new race of Cybermen? But weīre humans. Weīre not like you.
You will be.
Oh. No. Keep away!
Keep away!
Keep away...!
Will you let go!
Iīll stand still!
Please let me go.
Please, please let me go.
If you would let go of me, I can stand still!
Youīre breaking my arm!
To struggle is futile.
- Youīre sure thatīs the one? - Itīs the only one it could be.
Yeah. It leads up to that one there.
Please hurry, Captain Hopper.
Keep back, will you? Leave this to me.
Jim, stand by the power cut-off.
Power...? Yeah, yeah.
Stand back just in case weīve got the wrong one.
Donīt move!
Raise your hands.
- Look here, lady... - I shall kill you!
Your own men are down there. Why are you doing this?
Move away from that control board. Over here.
I shall open the hatch when Klieg gives the signal.
- Why close it? - Klieg must remain undisturbed.
Your friends will not escape from there. And you will not interfere.
Aaagh!
Watch her, Jim. If she moves, blast her.
Right.
You scream real good, Vic. Thanks a lot.
Please, the hatch!
OK. Weīll take a risk.
Stand by.
Itīs very quiet down there.
Yeah. Too quiet.
- Something must have happened. - How long they been down?
About an hour.
Thatīs too long. Iīm going down.
Jim, what are those bombs loaded with?
- Smoke. - Great. Give us a couple.
- Sure. - Come on!
Yeah, yeah.
OK. Here we go.
- Iīm coming too. - Later maybe. Not this trip.
- Whoīd be a woman! - How would you know, honey?
Stay up here. We donīt know whatīs going on down there.
Is he always like that?
Most of the time, Vic, yeah.
We have decided how you will be used.
Yes?
You are a logician.
Our race is also logical.
You will be the leader of the new race.
You will listen to my proposals, then?
Yes. We will listen.
But first you will be altered.
Altered?
You have fear.
We will eliminate fear from your brain.
Yes. You will be the first.
And you will be the next.
No! No! Aagh!
You will be like us.
To die is unnecessary.
You will be frozen
and placed in our tombs
until we are ready to use you.
Your lives will be suspended.
Prepare the tombs.
They really mean it. Theyīre going to freeze us.
- Not me. - No, theyīre coming back.
Come on, you guys. Run for it!
- Is he all right? - I think so.
- Which way? - That way.
- Are you sure? - No, Iīm not, but try it.
Iīll be with you in a minute.
Captain, weīve got to stop them.
- Block off this tunnel? - No, we canīt do that.
That hatch. We must get there first. Come on.
This humanoid is powerful.
We will use him.
Prepare him.
Hurry up, canīt you? Get a move on!
Victoria! Victoria!
Jamie!
Look at that smoke.
(JAMIE) Victoria!
Come on, Mr. Parry. Come on, quick!
The Cybermen! Theyīre right behind us.
When the Doctorīs up, close the hatch!
- OK! - Stand by!
Oh! Aagh! Heīs got my leg!
Doctor, come on!
- Come on! - Itīs no use.
Jim, close the hatch!
(CALLUM) Got him!
(BANGING)
It was horrible. It was so strong!
Itīs all right. Youīre all right now.
That was a near thing. Is anyone missing?
Yes. Klieg and Toberman - theyīre still down there!
The humanoid has escaped?
Yes.
Guard the passageway.
Yes.
(SOFT KNOCKING)
Donīt open it. It may be the Cybermen.
No. No, itīs too soft.
- It must be Toberman and Klieg. - Youīre crazy.
We canīt leave them down there even if they are killers.
Theyīre probably frozen by now.
You must let them up. They must be saved.
Yes, theyīre more dangerous down there than up here.
What? OK. Jim?
Right.
(KNOCKING)
Let her go.
Excuse me, please.
Shut it! Shut it quick!
- Whereīs Toberman? - Theyīve got him.
Still think you can form an alliance with the Cybermen?
If only Iīd been in a stronger position to bargain.
- You must be out of your mind. - Youīre in no position to bargain.
What are we going to do with them?
Iīd feel happier if they werenīt in here.
What about the testing room?
Good idea.
- Callum! - Right.
Mr. Klieg?
Miss Kaftan.
- Iīve got to get back to the rocket. - Weīll come with you.
I told you, not till Iīm operational again.
Iīll let you know when that is.
I donīt think youīll have any more trouble.
We shall see.
Release the Cybermats.
We will use the power of Cybernetics.
Activate them.
The brain of this humanoid will be their target.
Now.
These Cybermats are dormant through lack of use.
Inspect them.
- Whatīs that? - Just me.
Oh, be quiet.
Sleep later.
Look at this.
What is it?
One of the weapons they were testing.
Look. Hereīs the connection.
Let me see.
Yes, youīre right.
Itīs a Cybergun.
Look at that control. See that everything is switched off.
All the sequences show negative.
Good.
Now they will have to listen.
The Cybermats are ready.
Stand clear.
Now.
(BEEPING)
Excellent.
A small X-ray laser.
What are you going to do?
Take command, of course. What do you think?
With this, I can deal with those people.
Never mind them. The important thing is to control the Cybermen.
- Yes, I know, but... - Isnīt it, Eric?
You havenīt seen those vile things.
Youīre not scared, are you?
I have completely underestimated their power.
But this time we have the power - at least, you do.
The gun, Eric, the gun.
You have the Cybermenīs own weapon to turn against them.
Now they will have to obey.
If they refuse, we shall destroy the opening device
and seal them in their tomb forever. Now do you understand?
Yes. Yes, youīre right.
I am invulnerable with this. I shall be master.
Come, let us deal with these people.
Eric?
Master. The supreme moment of my life. It was logical.
Eric, we have work to do.
Yes, but hardly work - more a pleasure.
What?
A pleasure to test this on the Doctor and his companions.
The others are of no consequence,
but he will make a most precise target.
(BEEPING)
Enough.
These humanoids are not like us.
They still have fear.
Place the Cybermats on the runway.
Cybermats will attack.
Oh!
Iīm on your side, remember?
Hey, why didnīt you wake me?
I should have been on watch half an hour ago.
- I thought you should rest. - Why me?
No reason really.
Oh, I think I know. Was it because Iīm...?
Well, if you are 450 years old, you need a great deal of sleep.
Well, thatīs very considerate of you, Victoria,
but, between you and me, Iīm really quite lively actually -
all things being considered.
Are you happy with us, Victoria?
Yes, I am.
At least, I would be if my father were here.
Yes, I know.
I wonder what heīd think if he could see me now.
You miss him very much, donīt you?
Itīs only when I close my eyes.
I can still see him standing there.
Before those horrible Dalek creatures came to the house.
He was a very kind man.
I shall never forget him. Never.
No, of course you wonīt.
But, you know, the memory of him wonīt always be a sad one.
I think it will.
You canīt understand, being so ancient.
- Eh? - I mean old.
You probably canīt remember your family.
Oh, yes, I can when I want to.
Thatīs the point.
I have to really want to bring them back in front of my eyes.
The rest of the time they sleep in my mind and I forget.
And so will you. Oh, yes, you will.
Youīll find thereīs so much else to think about, to remember.
Our lives are different to anybody elseīs.
Thatīs the exciting thing.
Thereīs nobody in the universe can do what weīre doing.
You must get some sleep,
and let this poor old man stay awake.
Jamie, Victoria, Callum, wake up!
- Wake up! - What is it?
Callum. Callum.
(VICTORIA) Those terrible things.
Donīt move, Callum. Donīt move.
Get back to the controls, all of you.
Donīt make any sudden movements. Parry, wake up.
Donīt panic. Come back with us. Steady.
Weīll all go in the other room and lock them out.
Aagh!
Letīs get out of here.
The main doors.
No!
Oh! Oh, Doctor, weīre trapped!
Back against the controls, everybody.
Here.
Give me a hand, quick.
Lay this down on the ground. Come on!
- Doctor? - Come on!
Letīs blast the filthy things!
Youīre wasting your time. There are too many of them! Come back!
- There you are. - What are those creatures?
Well, theyīre...
Theyīre a form of metallic life.
They home on human brainwaves and attack.
Urgh!
Are they safe now?
Quite safe now. The power cable generated an electrical field
that confused their tiny metal minds.
Theyīve had a complete īīmetalīī breakdown.
- Ooh. - Iīm so sorry, Jamie.
What about Klieg and Kaftan? Theyīve probably been attacked.
- The testing room. - Come on. Mind your feet.
Most ingenious, Doctor.
Now letīs see what you can do against this.
Watch out, Doctor!
(DOCTOR WHO THEME)
Watch out, Doctor!
Keep back!
Your gun.
Youīve killed him, you murderer.
No. He is fortunate. I spared him.
- You missed him. - Silence! I could have killed him.
- Shall I kill them now? - No, that will not be necessary.
The Cybermen will have a use for them.
You will make excellent experimental specimens.
Oh, let me help him, please!
No tricks.
Still think you can bargain with the Cybermen?
Certainly. This time on our terms.
I wish to speak to the Controller.
I wish to speak to the Controller!
The humanoids must first be destroyed.
You will re-enter cells to conserve energy.
He is now prepared.
Release him.
Theyīre coming.
Now, gentlemen, you will see how I shall use the power of the Cybermen.
Use, maybe, but youīll never control the Cybermen.
- Behind you. - Stop!
You know what this can do to you.
Thatīs better.
Now you are under my control.
We know you must be revitalized
or you will perish.
If you agree to my terms...
I shall let you survive.
I will listen.
Make them release Toberman.
Youīre dafter than I thought.
Silence! Sit down.
First you release our man.
Toberman, it is good that you are back.
Watch them.
- Doctor, he seems er... - Yes, Jamie, yes.
Stay where you are!
Now...
Do you agree to accept our plan?
- Plan? - The conquest of the Earth.
- What?! You must be... - Silence!
Your answer.
We accept.
We will give you some of our power devices.
Good. I knew an understanding could be reached.
I shall let you be revitalized.
To survive, it must be now.
Come forward. Slowly.
- Be careful. - Leave this to me.
You are absolutely crazy to trust them!
You think so?
Then perhaps you and your colleagues had better join him. Go on. Go on!
- The girl stays with us. - No!
She is our hostage.
Close the hatch.
Go on. Close it!
- Heīs too weak to get in. - Quiet, Jamie.
You seem to be in trouble.
The energy...
levels...are...low.
We...will...survive.
You will help us.
You will...help...us...
Yes. Yes, certainly.
- Jamie, Professor. - Youīre not going to help them?
You canīt support these creatures!
I think it best. Come on.
Come along.
Thatīs it.
Do...you...understand...the...machine?
Yes. One moment.
Have you taken leave of your senses? Letīs help Victoria.
In a moment, Jamie.
(DOCTOR) Are you ready?
We will survive.
We will sur...
Now, where would you rather have him - in or out of there?
Oh, I see what you mean.
Only we must make sure that he stays in there.
Do you really believe you can bargain with those terrible Cybermen?
That is our concern, not yours.
Iīm talking to him, not you.
They will have to agree to our plan.
What about the other weapon?
What other weapon?
I saw another one like that in that room.
- Is that true? - I donīt know. Weīd better make sure.
No. Wait.
That means that any one of them in there could...
Yes, youīre right, Eric.
Better wait here.
If the Cyberman is aroused, we shall be ready for him.
Stay well clear.
Take no chances.
(WHIRRING)
Keep back! Itīs smoking.
We shouldnīt have touched it.
Turn it off. Itīs out of control.
(NOISE DIES DOWN)
Itīs taken over.
I think not.
There must be some sort of internal timing mechanism.
Jamie, I hope you made those ropes secure.
The King of Beasties couldnae get out of that.
Jamie, remind me to give you a lesson in tying knots.
You will remain still.
Stay here and watch that door.
At least we shall have some warning.
What do you hope to gain from this?
- That does not concern you. - They might as well know.
We are going to build a better world.
(CALLUM) Better? But who for?
I told you to watch the door.
Aagh!
Toberman.
Victoria.
- You have done well. - Toberman!
Silence.
He is now under our control.
Open the tombs.
No.
You have broken your promise.
Cybermen do not promise.
Such ideas have no value.
Open.
No.
That gun will not harm me.
Aagh!
Look what theyīve done.
You are not like them. Youīre a man like us. You must help us.
He has killed Kaftan. You must help us.
You will report to the surface.
(UNINTELLIGIBLE NOISES)
Jamie, the hatch!
The gun, Jamie!
Thereīs another one!
(CRASHING)
Are there any more?
No. Iīll close the hatch.
Wait a minute. Iīd better go down there.
- Not again! - Itīs the only way to make sure.
- Iīll go too. - No. Stay and look after Victoria.
Iīll take somebody else.
Toberman.
You see what these creatures have done to you?
Theyīve tried to make you like them. Do you understand?
Theyīve tried to make you their slave. They want to use you.
They are evil. Think of Kaftan.
- Evil! - They must be destroyed, you see.
Evil must be destroyed.
Now, come.
Destroyed!
Come on.
Come on!
- Good luck. - Thank you.
- Doctor, the gun. - I shanīt need that.
Should have taken it.
- Aagh! - Poor Mr. Callum. How are you?
I canīt move my arm.
Move quietly.
Theyīre all dormant, see?
Evil!
No! Quietly. Theyīre only asleep.
Theyīre not frozen yet. You watch them. I have things to do.
Now, let me see.
Yes.
The cryostat! Youīre freezing them!
Klieg!
No! Youīll wake them up!
That is exactly my intention.
You still donīt understand, do you?
Their Controller is dead.
Now I shall control them. They will do what I say.
You see, Doctor.
Yours is the privilege to witness for the first time
the union between mass power and my absolute intelligence.
Who is that?
Come out.
Come out or I shall kill this man!
Oh, itīs you.
Go to that wall, all of you.
All of you!
- Now... - Yes. As you say,
such a combination between intelligence and power
would make you formidable indeed.
Why, you would be Commander of the Universe with your brilliance.
The imagination reels with the possibilities.
Why, Doctor, if Iīd only known you shared my imagination,
you might even have worked for me.
Perhaps itīs not too late.
- Doctor! - No, Jamie. Donīt you see?
Donīt you see what this will mean to all the people who serve Klieg -
the all-powerful?
No country, no person would dare to have a single thought
that was not your own -
Eric Kliegīs own conception of the way of life!
Brilliant!
Yes.
Yes, youīre right.
Master of the world.
Now I know youīre mad. I just wanted to make sure.
Well, we can blast off any time.
- Sh! - All right.
Hey, what gives? Where is everybody?
Down there. And so are Klieg and the Cybermen.
Well, I hope they know what theyīre doing.
Iīve been down there once and I donīt reckon to go again.
Thatīs all right, Captain.
Itīs comforting to know we have your superior strength to call on
should we need it.
And so you have forfeited your right to survival.
I shall make an example of you to all who question my intelligence
and the supreme power of the Cybermen.
You know, Iīve heard this all before somewhere.
You talk too much.
Youīre stupid.
You still think your puny minds can survive against us?
You are decadent. Weak!
Do you know that? Weak!
All right.
Go ahead. Kill us.
No.
I have a better idea, a much better idea.
I shall leave you to the Cybermen.
Iīm sure theyīll have some use for you.
Or parts of you!
(KLIEG SCREAMS)
Quick, Jamie! These two levers together.
- I canīt shift this one. - What? Trip that first.
Last time they were frozen for five centuries.
This time it must be forever.
Oh, Doctor!
Here we are, Victoria, safe and sound. Close the hatch.
There we are.
Now then.
The best thing about a machine that makes sense -
you can very easily make it turn out nonsense.
- I think youīd better go outside. - What are you going to do?
Iīm going to re-electrify the main doors.
Only this time Iīm going to include the hatch and the control panel.
Anyone touching any of them will get a considerable shock.
A fatal one. Now, everyone outside.
Please take him with you. I shall be glad to see him outside.
Jamie?
Iīll stay with the Doctor.
Oh, all right.
There we are. Thatīs done.
We just have to close the main doors and the circuit is complete.
Thank goodness for that.
Doctor.
Doctor!
Jamie...
You go that way. Iīll go this way.
That gives us more of a chance.
When I say run, run.
Run!
Quickly!
Stop! Weīll get a shock.
We must find something to insulate. That shoring timber.
Hurry up!
Hurry up, heīs coming!
We must keep him inside
or all our work will be wasted.
- I canīt hold mine! - You must!
Toberman!
We must survive.
You are evil.
- Toberman, come away! - Youīll get killed, man!
They shall never pass Toberman.
The door is closed.
How terrible. Another life gone.
(HOPPER) Come on, Professor.
Blast-off in nine minutes.
Anybody coming along for the ride?
We have our own flying machine.
Flying machine?
At least it works.
Aw, letīs go.
Right. Well...
- Goodbye, Doctor. - Goodbye.
- Iīm sorry it had to end... - I know.
I know.
Goodbye.
That really is the end of the Cybermen, isnīt it?
Yes, Jamie.
On the other hand... I never like to make predictions.
Come along.
